Studio, progettazione e sviluppo di un sistema elettronico per la misura di segnali biometrici della mano finalizzato ad applicazioni riabilitative

Abstract

In this Thesis the study and implementation of a transduction system for hand functional rehabilitation is described. The prototype is mainly constituted by a sensorized glove, a sensor driving circuitry and a visual feedback software interface. The prototype allows both to collect quantitative data and to analyze them, enabling an objective assessment of rehabilitative protocols effectiveness. The system was developed by the BioDevices Laboratory of the Department of Information Engineering of Padova University in collaboration with Wetware Concepts (University of Padova spin off) and the equipe of severe spinal/brain injured of San Bortolo hospital of Vicenz
